The Last Darkness by Campbell Armstrong

A Glasgow murder reawakens dangerous old allegiances

Very Good Condition - Minor cover rubbing, creased/curling corners and lightly spotted page edges.

In a bitter Glasgow December, a well-dressed man is found hanging from a railway bridge. Detective Lou Perlman suspects that the death is not suicide, and something about the victim brings back memories of his own childhood in the Gorbals. As more deaths follow, the investigation leads into a world shaped by greed, deception and relationships that have survived far longer than anyone might admit. Perlman has secrets of his own, making the connections increasingly difficult to keep at a professional distance. Campbell Armstrong combines an atmospheric city setting with a crime story in which old loyalties can become lethal, and understanding the present requires entering territory the detective hoped to leave behind.
